Ugliest pedal of the year

2nd Annual Irish Green EFC

Ok, so last year I thought it would be cool to do a sparkle green Electron Fuzz Custom for St. Patricks day. I ordered 2 and had them etched. Upon receiving them I realized how non RML they looked in real life. Dare I say …ugly. Yes, I was looking at the the ugliest EFC ever! I’m not a sparkle kinda guy and the lack of contrast with the lettering just looks awful to me. So I put it on line and someone who really likes green bought it. I decided I’d just release one a year at a discounted price. So this is the 2nd annual St. Patricks day Irish EFC.

About the EFC:
The Electron Fuzz “Custom” is an extremely high gain distortion. Seriously, normal volume setting is at about 10% of its full output potential. Two gain/tone controls “Hurt” and “Pain” give a variety of tone textures and a feedback noise loop can be adjusted to add a very gritty almost 8-bit sound or a squelching scream. (Great for droning or well crafted solos and recording). The extra stomp switch adds 2 more additional gain stages and a boost of high end to the sound. Best of all the distortion oscillates when notes are held adding a new level of expression.

***Orders may take 1-2 weeks depending on availability of meters.

Here is a great demo video from the “Pedal and Effects” youtube channel featuring Alessandro Cortini of NIN, Sonoio and Modwheelmood.

The red LED on the radio tower switches on when boost mode is enabled. A convent way to know where you are when playing.

• Knob controls:

A unique approach to tone control…

Hurt:Controls the gain of 3rd gain stage. Lowering the gain will also reduce low end.Pain: Controls the gain of the 2nd transistor gain stage. Lowering the gain will reduce high end.Output: Volume/saturation. Take some of the edge off the mix or crank the pain and hurt all the way for a big, dirty, crunchy fuzz.FB Noise: On/Off adjusts the amount of feedback in the circuit for noise making. Creates a weird octave mod fx.

• Switch controls:Low cut toggle: Cuts the low end for a slightly less bassy more gated sound.x1000 gain:On left stomp switch. This takes your sound through an addition 2 transistor gain stages and pushes the electrons way past 11! The booster switch adds a loud and dirty, thrash crunch to this versatile pedal. Incredible for feedback noise and FX textures. Can cause the parasitic frequency oscillation but sounds awesome while playing.True Bypass: Lets you play through the pedal.
